Being As An Ocean at a SoCal venue May 31. Post-hardcore with spoken word and genuine emotional core — their catalog live is cathartic in a way very few bands manage.

The guitar tone that comes off a stage in a room like #337 doesn't survive a recording — Being As An Ocean in The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim on May 31, 2026 is the version that only exists if you're in the room. Being As An Ocean performs at #337 in The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim on May 31, 2026. Doors at 7pm. The people in the room carry it differently than the people who watched the stream.

Coast Hwy & Pier View Way, Oceansi…
Oceanside's Sunset Market transforms the corner of Coast Highway and Pier View Way into a vibrant outdoor marketplace every Thursday evening from 5pm to 9pm. With the Pacific Ocean just steps away, the market draws a mix of locals, surfers, beach-town regulars, and visitors who discover one of Southern California's most beloved weekly gatherings.
The market features 100 or more vendors spanning handcrafted jewelry and accessories, locally made candles and bath goods, vintage clothing, artwork and prints, photography, home decor, and specialty food vendors ranging from gourmet tacos to handmade ice cream. Live music, usually acoustic or folk, provides the soundtrack for an evening of browsing and casual connection.
Families, couples, and solo wanderers all find their pace here. The crowd peaks around sunset when the light off the water turns everything golden and the smell of food vendors mixes with salt air. Summer editions benefit from longer days and the full activation of Oceanside's beach season.
The Sunset Market runs every Thursday year-round. No admission fee. Street parking available on Coast Highway and side streets. The Sprinter rail Crouch St stop is two blocks from the market.
Schedule: Every Thursday, 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Location: Corner of Coast Hwy and Pier View Way, Oceanside, CA 92054. Admission: FREE.

Pier View Way & Coast Hwy, Oceansi…
Oceanside's waterfront comes alive every Thursday and Friday evening with a farmers and artisan market set a block from the Pacific. Local produce, food vendors, handmade goods, and live music against the backdrop of the pier and the sunset. The North County coastal alternative to SD's downtown markets — same quality, less traffic, ocean right there. Free admission. 4pm to 9pm.
OB Street Fair has been shutting down Newport Avenue every June since the 1970s. A full mile of vendors, live music on two stages, and the chili cook-off that draws entries from across San Diego and a crowd that takes the judging seriously. This is the event that reminds you why Ocean Beach exists. Bring cash, get there early for parking, and eat something before you get to the chili tent. Free admission. June 27-28.

North Beach, San Clemente Pier, Sa…
The San Clemente Ocean Festival is one of Southern California's longest-running celebrations of ocean culture — now in its 48th year. Every July, the area around the iconic San Clemente Pier transforms into a two-day showcase of surfing, ocean athleticism, and the coastal community spirit that defines this stretch of the OC coast.
The 2026 festival runs Saturday and Sunday, July 18–19, with a full schedule of competitions and community events both days. Saturday features the Pier Bowl Surf Classic (one of the few surf competitions directly in front of a historic pier), the International Lifeguard Competition, and the Dolphin Dash for kids ages 4–12. Sunday brings the Groms Rule Surf Contest, an Ocean Paddle Series, an Ocean Multisport Challenge, and a 5K Beach Run/Walk open to all levels.
The festival is free to attend as a spectator — just show up and claim a patch of sand near the pier. Competitors register separately through the festival's official portal. San Clemente's North Beach has free and metered parking nearby; arrive early on Saturday morning to secure a spot. The pier itself, built in 1928, serves as the dramatic backdrop for the entire weekend — and there's no better seat in SoCal for watching elite ocean athletes at work. Street tacos and fish tacos from local vendors line the park just above the beach. For a casual summer beach day that also happens to be one of the most authentic ocean sports events in California, this is the move.

Ocean Beach, San Diego. September 26th. Free. OB Oktoberfest is not the same as everyone else doing Oktoberfest. This is Newport Avenue — the community that built itself around surf culture and craft beer and the specific kind of California stubborn-independence that makes OB what it is. The steins are real. The schnitzel is real. The band on the stage plays with the commitment of people who have been doing this since before the craft beer era made it cool.
September 26th on Newport Avenue, free to come. The street closes and the vendors fill the block and the neighborhood shows up — the beach crowd, the locals who have been coming for years, the people who drove down from North County because OB Oktoberfest is worth the parking situation. It is.
This is the fall version of what the beach in Southern California can be: outdoors until dark, a crowd that came specifically for this, the Pacific a few blocks away making the whole afternoon smell right. Come early. Stay for the full pour. Leave when Newport Avenue decides the night is over, which won't be before you're ready.

Ocean Beach Oktoberfest runs two days, and Day 2 is where the neighborhood fully settles in. The urgency of the first day has passed — the crowd has found its rhythm, the vendors know what's moving, and the people who showed up Sunday are the ones who wanted to be here rather than the ones who felt like they were supposed to. OB has its own relationship with events like this: lower pretense, higher warmth, a crowd that talks to strangers because that's just what OB does.
The pretzels are still warm. The beer selection covers German imports alongside SoCal craft. Newport Avenue closes to traffic and the blocks fill with people who have been coming to this thing for years alongside people who stumbled into it and immediately understood why it keeps happening. The food vendors, the live music, the slow pace of a Sunday afternoon in a neighborhood that does slow Sundays better than most of San Diego — it adds up to something that doesn't feel like a corporate event, because it isn't one.
Tickets at oboktoberfest.com. Ocean Beach, San Diego. Day 2 is the version of this event the neighborhood keeps for itself.
